What people are saying about TCS
Abstraction is the process of hiding complex details and showing only essential features of an object or system.
Abstraction helps in managing complexity by breaking down a system into smaller, more manageable parts.
It allows us to focus on the important aspects of a system while ignoring the irrelevant details.
Abstraction is used in programming to create classes and objects that represent real-world entities.
For e...
The four pillars of OOPS are Abstraction, Encapsulation, Inheritance, and Polymorphism.
Abstraction: Hiding implementation details and showing only necessary information.
Encapsulation: Wrapping data and methods into a single unit.
Inheritance: Acquiring properties and behavior of a parent class by a child class.
Polymorphism: Ability of an object to take many forms or have multiple behaviors.
DBMS stands for Database Management System. It is a software system that allows users to define, create, maintain and control access to databases.
DBMS is used to manage large amounts of data efficiently.
It provides a way to store, retrieve and manipulate data in a structured manner.
It ensures data integrity and security.
Examples of DBMS include MySQL, Oracle, SQL Server, and PostgreSQL.
Method overloading is having multiple methods with the same name but different parameters. Method overriding is having a method in a subclass with the same name and parameters as a method in its superclass.
Method overloading is a compile-time polymorphism while method overriding is a runtime polymorphism.
Method overloading is used to provide different ways of calling the same method with different parameters.

OOPS stands for Object-Oriented Programming System
OOPS is a programming paradigm that focuses on objects and their interactions
It allows for encapsulation, inheritance, and polymorphism
Encapsulation refers to the bundling of data and methods within a single unit
Inheritance allows for the creation of new classes based on existing ones
Polymorphism allows for the use of a single interface to represent multiple types ...
Printing the address of a pointer, address of a variable and value in variable.
To print the address of a pointer, use the '&' operator before the pointer variable name.
To print the address of a variable, use the '&' operator before the variable name.
